Actually it drives surpisingly well. Very smooth ride, I would have to say like an Escalade.

I saw a Tahoe with a plow yesterday. It was a first for me as well.
Do you take it pretty easy on it? Have you had it on there long term? I grew up in Maine and know that most people didn't take it easy on their plow trucks and they tended to not last too long

Which plow do you have on yours ?
Its a snowdogg md75 very light weight made for 1/2 ton trucks. I have a RC 2" level on the the truck and it squats to about stock height when i lift the plow. With 285/70/17s i have no rub with plow up and driving foward/reverse, full lock to full lock in 2wd 4wd auto/hi/low. There are 'suspension enhancement' bump stops called timbrens that will pretty much eliminate any squat when you raise the plow, i didnt purchase them yet and yes, they are that good. I originally installed the plow on my '01 hoe (cranked the torsion bars and installed timbrens on that, no squat whatsoever) and when i bought the '13 i needed a new truck side mount and light harness adapters for the headlites, I found used mount and new adapters on ebay for about $220. I mounted it myself, mostly because i think an installer would not have been all that patient/in a rush to get it done, and would have hacked up the bumper to no end, i took my time and cut it (and removed installed 9000x to make sure it was right) so that if i ever removed the plow you could barley tell (i also kept the pieces and if i really wanted to i could prob get away with putting them back in, somewhat) and with a new lower valence panel i could pretty much hide the 'slits' where the plow mount comes through the cover. Those 'slits' are about a 1/2" x 1.5" on both sides of the lower bumper cover almost directly under the tow hooks. The bottom valence is hacked to shit but i dont care about that, the bumper annoyed me but what can ya do.
